In Alabama, the high school football scene is buzzing as the regular season winds down and the playoffs loom on the horizon. In the latest rankings from the Alabama Sports Writers Association, there have been no changes at the top for the final week of the regular season. Auburn retains the top spot in 7A, while Saraland holds firm in 6A, Montgomery Catholic remains at the forefront of 5A, and Jackson keeps their leadership in 4A. Other leaders include T.R. Miller in 3A, Pisgah in 2A, and Wadley in 1A. Additionally, Chambers Academy stays No. 1 in the AISA.
